Quick History Lesson and why playing against and beating Vandy is so important!

[volsrus1]

Growing up in Nashville and being a Vols fan can be painful at times with the "out of the woodwork fairweathered fans of Vandy" gettin in your face when they beat us is not a good thing. A quick history lesson in the series against Vandy. If you notice in the Series Vandy was kickin our a$$ early in the series.

The General was hired to do one important thing and that was beat Vandy. If you notice leading up to 1926 Vandy's record against us was 2 Wins 17 Losses and 2 Ties.

After The General was hired in 1926, our record has been 67 Wins 10 Losses and 3 Ties.

I would say mission accomplished.

Thanks for the info, '05 was miserable losing to them at home on senior night, I care more this year about beating Kentucky just to keep the streak going, but losing to Vandy would certainly make my stomach hurt something awful.

 

[Cartervol]

Throw the record books out the door for this one. In fact throw them out for this whole year.

 

[colorado king]

That's a lot of numbers.

 

[orangesox]

Was the '87 game the one that UT had to mount a huge comeback against them when Watson Brown was the coach? Back in those days, it seemed like maybe Vandy was about to turn the corner.

 

[volsrus1]

we were getting drilled that game I believe 36 - 14, before we made the comeback. Eric young? I believe was the QB. Vandy had heisman posters made for him that year.

 

[The Tall Gguy]

I'm sick of losing. Let's try something new. Why don't we just win 2 in a row?

Best plan I have seen today.
